Criticality-Based Guard Rail Validation for AI Agent Decisions in Autonomous Telecom Networks
The evolution toward fully autonomous telecommunications networks (Autonomous Network Levels 4-5) requires AI/ML agents to make real-time network decisions without human intervention. However, no standardized runtime mechanism exists to intercept and validate individual inference outputs before they trigger live network state changes, creating risks of erroneous autonomous decisions. This paper proposes the Guard Rail Validation (GRV) framework, a standardizable runtime architecture for intercepting and validating AI-driven decisions before execution. The framework evaluates decisions across multiple weighted dimensions -- including action scope, action type, service criticality, agent autonomy level, reversibility, and temporal behavioural patterns -- to determine a criticality level. Based on this level, graduated validation mechanisms are applied: execute-with-logging, bounds checking, independent agent validation, or multi-agent consensus. The framework additionally provides cross-agent conflict detection with criticality-weighted priority resolution and runtime conformance logging for regulatory compliance (e.g., EU AI Act Article 14). We present the architecture, algorithmic procedures, O-RAN deployment model, and evaluate threat coverage against known AI/ML attacks in telecommunications.
